Flickers of My Mind [Random Compilation]

Lightning

Lightnings remind me of how scary a spark can be when we've been in the dark for far too long.

You are lightning. Your existence terrifies me in ways unfathomable. Your thunder resonates within me, colliding with veins and bones and reducing me to nothing but a beating heart.

You are lightning and I cling to you because I do not wish to be familiar in the dark for much longer. Your transient bursts of light guide me to my path through the darkness and into the morning sun.

You are lightning. My hands burn with your gentle touch. You are too good for me but you do not make me feel like I am anything less than what I am: special. Your light lets me see the cracks in my features and you touch each one of them tenderly, not to implicate that I am acutely flawed and fragile, but to show me that I've lived through my life and stayed strong no matter how many times I've tumbled down and that I am bound to go on to greatness.

You are lightning. I can live without you but if given the option, I would choose not to because you make living this life worth all the anxiety.
